This year, Janmashtami will be observed on August 26, 2024, with the Dahi Handi festival following on August 27. A holiday has been declared for Janmashtami on August 26, meaning all government and private schools and many offices will be closed that day. Consequently, there will be three consecutive holidays from Saturday to Monday. Even if a school is open on Saturday, students will still have off on Sunday and Monday. These holidays offer a great opportunity to celebrate the festival and potentially plan a family trip. Overall, families can enjoy time together from August 24 to 26.
